What to expect

1

Margadh Café & Wine Bar

Your first stop is an unexpected gem: the Royal Hibernian Academy, a cornerstone of Ireland’s arts scene, which recently opened its café to a Michelin-listed team. By night, they offer a stellar tasting menu, but during the day, they serve delicious bakes. You'll visit this bright, airy space for the flakiest sausage rolls and excellent coffee.

Duration 30 minutes
2
Fallon & Byrne

Your third stop is Fallon & Byrne, a favorite for Dubliners looking to impress. Located in a historic city center building, it features a curated selection of local and international ingredients, including top-tier Irish meats and cheeses. Sample their charcuterie and discover why Ireland is beloved by top chefs worldwide (hint: it’s the rain).

Duration 30 minutes
3

The Seafood Café by Niall Sabongi

In Temple Bar, there is one notable exception to the usual advice. You'll visit a renowned seafood restaurant in this famous quarter, known for its fresh Irish catches. Enjoy oysters and Lambay crab on toast, experiencing some of Dublin’s finest seafood. This spot offers a high-quality experience above typical tourist fare.

Duration 30 minutes
4

Caribou

Every culture has its iconic comfort food. In Ireland, it's a toastie, a warm sandwich. While it might not seem like a must-try, it will absolutely be a highlight, especially at a new up-and-coming pub serving elevated bar food.

Duration 45 minutes
5

Spilt Milk Ice Cream Dublin

Lastly, you'll wrap up your journey at our beloved all-Irish ice cream shop. These enterprising young artisans began in a food truck in South Dublin in 2021, eventually taking over a former ice cream shop here just last year. By partnering with Dublin-based food and drink producers like Harry's Nutbutter and renowned Irish whiskey and stout brands, they craft inventive flavors such as Nutbutter and Whiskey and Guinness. These creations showcase the creativity and playfulness of Dublin's burgeoning food scene, offering a sweet and refreshing finale to your culinary adventure.

Duration 15 minutes
6

Tang (Dawson Street)

Next, you'll head to a bakery known for its Middle Eastern-inspired pastries. This small spot offers a delightful range of treats. Devour a seasonal sweet and savory creation, and their signature Babka for a unique taste of Dublin’s innovative baking scene.
